Texts, posts, and emails are worth my life while driving. You ll never hear me say Seatbelts are important. A reverse poem of the preventable killer of teens: distracted driving by Erika A I also believe It s okay to answer a text as long as I look at the road often. It s ridiculous to think I can miss my favorite celebrity s Instagram Live one time And that I should wait to drink my bubble tea until I get home I know I don t have a higher risk of dying if I drive with my phone in one hand as long as the other is on the wheel. So, it s naive to say Multitasking is impossible. https://createrealimpa ct.com/entries/24967/ I won t be endangering others if I check Twitter quickly And it s untrue when I say Driving distracted kills 11 teens every day. Everybody should know that There s harm in waiting to do your makeup. Nobody could convince me that It s a choice to drive distracted.

The First Poem Carolyn Vannoster You think it s not a big deal You ve been driving several years But have you really thought about The cause of many tears What if .for just an instance Your eyes have left the road Your hands were busy TEXTING And your mind was in THAT mode https://adowel37.wordpress.com/ 2010/05/16/texting-while-driving- poem-written-by-carolyn- vannoster/ It only takes a second To make a fatal mistake And once that it has happened The consequences are hard to take You say that it won t happen to me I m ALWAYS in control But what about the time it did Was it worth the life you stole? So keep your phone out of arms reach Until you ve reached your destination YOU are responsible for your actions Driving deserves your concentration Must it always take disaster? To open up our eyes Please teach by your example Before more of America dies .
